🌲Walk Among Giants: The Redwood Sky Walk in Eureka Is Next-Level 

June 19, 2025•2 min read

👟 Ever Wanted to Stroll Through the Treetops? Now’s Your Chance
Alright, let’s get this straight—if you’re rolling through Eureka and don’t hit up the Redwood Sky Walk, are you even doing it right? Tucked inside the Sequoia Park Zoo (which by the way, is the oldest zoo in California still operating—how cool is that?), this sky walk isn’t just another boardwalk in the forest. It’s a jaw-dropping, slightly adrenaline-pumping, totally unforgettable experience that lets you literally walk among the tops of ancient redwoods. We’re talking 100 feet above the forest floor, surrounded by living giants that have been standing tall for centuries.

🌲 What Makes the Redwood Sky Walk a Must-Do?

  • 1/4-mile self-guided experience suspended in the canopy

  • Highest platform is a whopping 100 feet up (don’t look down... or do 👀)

  • Views of lush ferns, moss-draped branches, and wildlife from a totally new angle

  • The Adventure Leg adds extra thrill with a little sway (not for the faint of heart)

  • ADA accessible route available for all levels of explorers

🎟️ Hours, Access, & Quick Pro Tips

  • Open daily 10am–5pm (last entry at 4pm)

  • $24.95 adult combo ticket gets you into the zoo AND sky walk

  • Go early for fewer crowds and soft morning light through the redwoods

  • Rain? No worries—the trees look even more magical in the mist

🐾 Bonus: It’s Inside a Zoo
Yeah, that’s right—the Redwood Sky Walk is part of the Sequoia Park Zoo, so once you finish playing Tarzan in the treetops, you can check out red pandas, river otters, and a rad walk-through aviary. It’s a perfect mix of wild adventure and educational fun. Bring the kids, bring your date, or just bring your curious self.

📸 Insta-Worthy Moments You Can't Miss

  • The 360-view platform at the heart of the walk—hello, profile pic upgrade

  • Selfie with a giant redwood as your backdrop

  • Action shots on the Adventure Leg for that “look at me being brave” moment

  • Slow-mo video of you walking through the foggy canopy (total vibe)

🌎 Surrounding Area Vibes

  • Minutes from Old Town Eureka, where you can grab a post-walk latte or pint

  • Close to the coast and Humboldt Bay—watch the fog roll in like a movie scene

  • Just a short drive from Arcata, College of the Redwoods, and multiple coastal trails

  • Nearby Sequoia Park Forest trails for when you wanna touch ground again and explore more

🌟 Fun Fact
The redwoods here can live more than 2,000 years. Let that sink in while you're up in their arms. Nature doesn't mess around.
